Mitsubishi Malaysia recalls CBU Lancer models, ASX

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) has issued a nationwide recall for its Lancer, Lancer Sportback, Lancer Evolution and ASX models. The recall involves only CBU units of the aforementioned models manufactured between 2007 and 2010, with the cause for concern pertaining to the V-ribbed belt and brake booster.

Issues concerning the V-ribbed belt affect only the Lancer and its subsequent variants while the ASX will need to have its brake booster inspected. Should a replacement be deemed necessary, Mitsubishi Malaysia will undertake the required steps to rectify the problem with no charge whatsoever to affected customers.

Owners of the locally-assembled ASX need not worry as the recall does not extend to CKD units. Affected owners will be notified by letters issued by MMM – individuals are urged to make the necessary arrangements at any authorised Mitsubishi service centre.

For further enquiries, individuals can contact Mitsubishi Malaysia at its customer care line at 1-800-18-6611, from 9.00am to 5.00pm, every Monday to Friday or visit www.mitsubishi-motors.com.my for more information.

Use your brain when you claim warranty ok? Those small kichimiao problem like power windows, CVT, door handler broken also wanna claim warranty? You still got brain? Repair yourself lar, the car won’t break if you are not abusing it.

Glad to hear that….after consider between honda city and Inspira finally i choose Inspira, cant wait to have it, maybe this week or next week i can get it, booked end of last year, able to get rebate up to 9k. Proton SA said, soon Proton will end the production of inspira

Don’t worry. You made the right choice. I have both Inspira and new City 2014. The Inspira is a better car in every respect, except the safety features cannot beat the City-E and V specs with the inclusion of VSA.

But beware, it will sucks fuel a lot more than the city….7.5km/l(Inspira) vs 12 km/l(HCity) in 100% City jam for my case.

I always appreciate this kind of recalls. These companies admitted their fault and tried to save people lives before anything gone worst. Have u seen proton recalls their cars back for a fixture? We have millions of complaints but proton never cares.
Keep in mind that nothing is built perfectly in the world. Important thing is they know they are wrong and they know they need improvement.

“Have u seen proton recalls their cars back for a fixture?”
yes. proton called me to send my preve for a wire harness recall. its free too. dont simply talk cock la dude. search the web before you bark here

Then can your cock explains y there are still milllions complaints and not to have answers? The primary one should be power window. Lets see how ur preve power windows gone haywire soon or later and u will realize u should not drive a preve during raining day.

“there are still milllions complaints and not to have answers?”–can you give me a website link to those ‘millions complaint’. prove it to me! FYI, all those proton latest car has lifetime power window warranty.

Lifetime power window warranty is bodoh…only applicable if you continue to service at Proton SC for 10 years…I service outside can easily save me RM100 each time. After your car warranty over, there’s not a lot of reason to go back Proton SC, just to maintain the power window warranty…not worth it. Scam.

Just 5 years. You should wait until more than 20 years if Myvi power window are working without failure or not.
My Saga 1.5I year 1989 power window still functioning up until today without any failure and I did not change the bracket up until today.
Nowadays, all proton new cars are having a lifetime warranty for power window.

Yes proton has had recalls before. Perhaps you have been living under a rock for the last few years.
The satria neo, exora CPS and CFE, had publicised recalls.
The preve and suprima has had service bulletins too

I received the letter on Monday morning. Apparently it was due to the max mileage of the v ribbed belt, which only tops at 100,oookm. Only Lancers with mileage approaching 100k will be affected. My warranty is over 2 years ago, but still got the replacement parts (v belt, pulley, and tensioner) for free. What more to ask? The v-belt of most car is rated at 100,000km by the way. It was nice for MMM to do it for free. Other car makers should do the same.

Good to hear that.
The v-belt is cheap and i never change it at 100k,i do it at 60k.
And no,i dont drive a lancer or inspira.our climate is hot amd makes the road very dusty,small sand and stone will gets trapped on the belt and causes it to becomes noisy and might lip after 80k km.

You may also get an AP paper started your ASX as in RM50+k or less, which the Datuk’s name is there as well, xx bin xx that owns the AP paper I guess. Always remember that’s fee money into the pocket system (legally).
